How silly this can get - but the game of supposing and hypothetical
theories can be used also the other way round.
Suppose, someone could provide testimony by some relatives of Suchomel
that he was still alive in 1985 and that he usually didn't like
to speak about his duties in Treblinka. But, provoked by Claude Lanzmann,
he did speak only to regret this later because he didn't like to be
shown in this film. I hear M Beaulieu shouting: - testimonies do not count.
Then someone could provide an authenticated death certificate of Franz
Suchomel, dated let's say 1991 or so. Not impossible to get one.
Probably, a German agency issued Suchomel's certificate. M Beaulieu
or another "Revisionist" will claim that such a document
does not count because in Germany Holocaust denial was illegal.
Or, M Beaulieu would ask for a forensic test of it, may be, he'll argue
someone has planted such a document in the files. If anyone took
pains to provide it he'd ask for another forensic test by a "neutral"
commission. (I think Anne Frank's diary was tested independently by
several police labs in Netherlands, Germany and Swiss, all with
the same result that it is authentic - little surprise. But the claims
of forgery will be renewed every other month by another deluded deniers).
So, when another forensic test would be provided, M Beaulieu could ask
for a conclusive prove, that the F.Suchomel in C.Lanzmann's film, the
guard in Treblinka, and the person reported dead in that authenticated
certificate were really the same person. May be, he'll argue, there
had been several persons with that name, or may be there was never
such a person, who knows ...
Can be proceeded ad infinitum.

And after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

Only to be followed by this incredible and very much sillier

Truly there is no stopping this juggernaut of idiocy who has found aid
and comfort (and a web page) from David Thomas and the first-class
minds at CODOH.
